  • plex-s3

    Redirects Direct Plays to the actual S3 location

  • I wrote a simple FastAPI python application to do this work for us: https://github.com/buroa/plex-s3/blob/main/app.py. It uses the Plex database to look up the file path of a media part id and then generates a presigned S3 URL and redirects the client back to the URL. If for some reason it can't, it will still stream the file from Plex (fallback). I then deployed as a sidecar to Plex deployment: https://github.com/buroa/k8s-gitops/blob/master/cluster/apps/media/plex/plex-helm-release.yaml#L70

  • I've been accomplishing something similar using Mergerfs. I'm thinking your solution is a bit more elegant, saving this post to try it out one day!

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
